Ahh yes, worked great. I had to tweak it a bit to get it to scroll to the line I wanted to and not past it. For some reason is you hav 200 total lines and you tell it to scroll to the 50th line it would be 200/50 which would scrill to the 51st line (I am guessing rounding off the decimal or something). So what I did was I would prompt for what line to scroll to then subtract one and run it through the division and then readd 1 back to it again after I was done. I know that sounds a little confusing so here is the code, it might make more since then I can. 
sub go_to {
   my $sw = MainWindow->new(-title=>"Go To Line");
   my $frame = $sw->Frame->pack(-side => 'top', -fill => 'x');
   $frame->Label(-text => "Enter Line Number:")->pack(-side => 'left',
+ -anchor => 'w');
   $frame->Entry(-textvariable => \$line_number)->
      pack(-side => 'left', -anchor => 'w', -fill => 'x', -expand => 1
+);
   $frame->Button(-text => "GO", -background => 'navy blue', -foregrou
+nd => 'white', -command =>\&scroll_line)->
      pack(-side => 'right');

   sub scroll_line {
      $line_number = $line_number - 1;
      my $calc = $line_number/$line_count;
      $t->yviewMoveto($calc);
      $line_number = $line_number + 1;
   }
}

Thanx again for the help.
